Read the information for yourself and you can decide. His mother is and was a US citizen.

CRS Report for Congress

Qualifications for President and the “Natural Born” Citizenship Eligibility Requirement


The weight of more recent federal cases, as well as the majority of scholarship on the subject, also indicates that the term “natural born citizen” would most likely include, as well as native born citizens, those born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents, at least one of whom had previously resided in the United States, or those born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent who, prior to the birth, had met the requirements of federal law for physical presence in the country. (233)

(233) See now 8 U.S.C. §1401(a) - (h). Under current law, at 8 U.S.C. §1401(g), a person born abroad to one U.S. citizen-parent would be a citizen at birth if that parent had resided in the United States for at least five years, two of which were after the time the parent was 14 years of age.
